Probably similar to teen pregnancy - The Clan would probably be disappointed, but they can't do anything but let the apprentice go through with the birth. After that, either the Kits are adopted by another Queen or the Apprentice delays her training to raise her kits and must finish it at an embarrassingly old age. Imagine if the Apprentice mother has to train alongside her own kits, once they turn 6 Moons.

Dawncloud was very young when she had kits. And maybe because she was apprenticed so early, she became a warrior earlier too and had kits which is comparable to teen-age pregnancy but no one cared because she got her full name. I imagine that she was made a warrior shortly after Yellowfang was banished because Tallpoppy has to be there at some point. Moth Flight was young too but since there was no proper naming system her case isn't as obvious.
They would probably let the apprentice's kits staying with her in the nursery until they are apprenticed themselves and then she countinues her training and they never talk about it again.

This is, by far, one of the weirdest threads I’ve seen in WG in the past few months.

I don’t think there’d be that much of an issue? It’s not against the code. The whole Clan would probably be wary that they did that instead of focusing on their apprenticeship and might look down on them for it but I doubt they’d be punished. They would likely move to the nursery and finish their apprenticeship when their kits get apprenticed (this would be hilarious) and that would probably be it.

I'm actually rather surprised they haven't approached this topic at all throughout the series, considering the fact that kits can actually get pregnant (a cat can go into heat and get pregnant as early as 4 months, which is a sad fact and not something I think should be used as a plot point)
I'd be interested to see this to be explored if they did it in a tasteful way. I remember back in the beginning of AVOS, people theorized that Needlepaw would get pregnant with Rain's kits before she became a warrior, and I think they could pull this off with an older apprentice if they really wanted to. definitely not a kit or young apprentice though, i think that would be too sad and definitely very controversial

Depends on how old the father is. If it's a Thistle/Spotted situation, then something needs to be done about that tom.

Honestly there's not really much they CAN do by that point. The cat's already pregnant, they're left to wait it out. Unless you expect them to give the cat in question Tansy, which will cause a miscarriage to those pregnant, which is probably the closest to an abortion as you can get here. But that'd be dark to cover as well, even in a series with cats (Miscarriage/abortion is a very heavy topic as well and all...).
On a less um... heavy note, the clan definitely would be disappointed because they just had one of their younger cats basically be like an episode of "16 and Pregnant" and whatnot.

Well, Ferncloud was an apprentice in The Darkest Hour, but in Midnight she's already a queen, but with her warrior name (in Firestar's Quest too). Like, ee never saw when she got her warrior name. What if she got pregnant a little before becoming a warrior? lol I always thought that.

I doubt they'd cover it honestly, due to it being somewhat of a controversial topic in some places and how it needs to be handled with care. It's possible, but I doubt it.
But that aside it's probably a question of how the series interprets their cats. If they go for 100% realism in how old cats can be before having kits then it probably would happen quite a bit, since apparently cats can become pregnant at four months at the earliest and irl cats don't have a sense of waiting until a certain age to have kids like humans do. It's just whenever. Since Warriors treats its cats as creatures with a moral code though there seems to be a loose concept of Kits = Children (0-10ish human equivalent maybe) Apprentices = teenagers (perhaps 10-18 or whatever) and warriors being adults. If they follow a more human sense of morals surrounding pregnancy then it might range from shocking, worrying and a point of shame for a young apprentice, to questionable or more accepted for an older apprentice. Obviously this doesn't cover all people's viewpoints, but I'm generalising on the more common points.
If it happened it would probably depend on the age of the apprentice, but I doubt it would be something truly punished for. I'd imagine they'd maybe treat it like Med-cat pregnancies if they had to punish it. It's shameful and they lose the position they have for a while, perhaps performing the safe but not pleasant jobs such as de-ticking the elders, cleaning out the dens etc. Honestly if it were me though there probably wouldn't be any actual punishment, just probably a sense of shame and worry in the clan for their wellbeing. I won't go any further into it really since imo it'd depend entirely on the circumstances which could get a bit dark if looked into it really in-depth.
